My old e30 was a "known" car, found this out about a week after I got it on the road, was pulled over and before I knew it there was a copper at my door HELPING me out of the car, calmed down abit once out and nothing really came of it, he said he thought I was someone else.
About a week later the same thing and again on the way home from work one night, I noticed a copper come back around the rdabout and I figured here we go again, so stupidly I thought I could have a laugh and just try and keep one step ahead, took a few choice turns and almost made it back in a compete circle before I was cornered by 3 cars, flashing lights and some directions shouted to get out of the car, hands up, I shat myself, got out and it happened again, minute I was out the car, they were cool, 2 cars just shot off and a copper came over and asked about the car, the usual stuff, so I asked him WTF??? He explains the last owner was sent down for drugs/gbh/abh and some other nasty charges and wasn't due out for a while yet, the car was still registered under his name and had been sitting in his garden till I bought it the week before.
We sorted out the police records there and then and all was cool, but I did search the whole car inside out just to check
Turns out that about 5 years ago the car belonged to a guy in my town(who i did not know)who was in to all sort's of things and got himself shot 
lol and i have a court appearance in june because of it,
